Confined Space Awareness

A confined space is an area which is substantially enclosed and is one where serious injury can occur from hazardous substances or conditions within the confined space or near to the space. A number of people are killed or seriously injured in the UK each year in confined spaces. These incidents occur across a wide range of industries. Health and safety training will enable employees working in confined spaces to get the job done safely.

The course will cover the regulations surrounding confined spaces, particularly Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 and the relationship with other regulations. It gives the learner knowledge on how to complete risk assessments, safe working practices, emergency procedures as well as practical exercises to practice the principles of risk assessments and control.
